increasing swap
My old laptop with just half a GB of ram will always run slowly, but can keep it from stalling/crashing if can increase its swap partition from 1.4 GB to 3.0 GB [have tested this in past, but forgot when put in new install with this suse 11.4 OS]. Below is my partition set-up, and if anyone has some idea of how to implement such a swap partition increase without full reinstall, please advise.
1 swap 1.4 GB 2 / 7.6 GB 3 /usr 16.0 GB 4 EXTENDED 30.8 GB 5 /home 10.0 GB 6 /local 3.0 GB 7 /root 4.0 GB 8 /opt 3.0 GB 9 /var 4.0 GB 10 /boot 1.0 GB 11 /srv 2.0 GB 12 /tmp 2.0 GB 13 /media 1.0 GB 14 freespace .88 GB Obviously, the freespace and /media can totally go, but can't get the change into swap. Appreciating any hints, and even flat-out statement that can't be done is useful since will save time trying impossible task. |
linux can use multiple swap partitions... So
1. unmount /media, remove it from your /etc/fstab 2. expand the old /media partition to include the free space. 3. change partition ID to swap, format it as swap 4. Add another swap line to your /etc/fstab. 5. Activate it. |
thank you
